Detroit Lions news, rumors and injuries

Updating a previous report, free-agent OG Tim Lelito (Titans) signed an undisclosed deal with the Detroit Lions on Tuesday, Sept. 26. OG Joe Dahl (leg) was placed on the Reserve/Injured list to make room for him on the roster.

Fantasy Tip: It could have been two touchdowns, but by now you probably know about the touchdown that wasn't. Stafford has a reputation for strong comeback and volume-passing efforts make the Lions signal-caller a decent QB1 option every game.

Detroit Lions C Travis Swanson (ankle) is listed as questionable for the Week 3 game and still has a chance to play, but OG Graham Glasgow likely would move to center if Swanson is ruled out. OG Joe Dahl (leg) could move to left guard to replace Glasgow, but he is also listed as questionable for the game.

Fantasy Tip: Detroit's offensive line problems probably would affect their offensive scheme against the Atlanta Falcons. Matt Stafford may be asked to throw more short passes so he can avoid the pass rush. Ameer Abdullah and Theo Riddick could also be more involved in the passing game since the Falcons have struggled against pass-catching backs. Stafford can still be considered a No. 1 fantasy quarterback in most leagues, while Abdullah and Riddick would have more value in point-per-receptions leagues.
